Burma Junta is 100 Times Worse than What the Kadafi

by ASN,

Ruler of Burma is expressible as 100 times worse than what the Kadafi of Libya. Yet, no mechanism can force the dictator to abide by domestic or intl norms and the system routed a threat to intl peace and security. UN has to truly act to bring democratic changes in Burma. At least UN must achieve to halt military regime’s brutalities. As well as failure occurred in taking action. It shows the UN’s system is not acted according its roles.

Finally, they all have been sentenced up to 20 years imprisonment by the court of Kyaukfru at the end of year 2010.

Unfortunately, investigation of ICJ is not able to launch for lack of various supports. It is also question for the intl court’s weakness despite we have resourceful evidences to support it.

It is regrettable for continuously allowing of the military junta’s brutalities towards civilians. It is time that UN must take action by militarily, instead of the unworkable economic sanctions. There is nothing to depend on Burma’s neighbours or its counter part countries or its societies because they can’t bring peace and security of the people.
Thankfully,
